Students across Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire are on study programmes at The Bedford College Group that include the opportunity to sit or retake their GCSEs to improve on the grades they received whilst studying at school. This year a total of 1,352 students who sat GCSE English and Maths with the Group improved their grade by at least one grade.

Nina Sharp, Vice Principal for Maths, English and Progression Pathways said: “We are extremely proud of all our students receiving their GCSE results today. The results demonstrate the significant impact The Bedford College Group is having on supporting its students to improve their GCSE English and Maths grades so that they can get the building blocks to start meaningful careers or progress on to further study.

“Many of our students didn’t get the results they had hoped for the first time around, but they showed the determination to progress in their studies with us, with many now celebrating improved results.”
